Fractional CTO & AI Leadership

Senior technology direction, roadmap governance, vendor challenge and board-level decision support, without the cost of a full-time hire.

Led by Nuno & Luke

Most scaling SMEs cannot justify a full-time CTO, but they need CTO-level decision support. Vendor proposals worth six figures, ERP go-lives, AI investments, system swaps and integration projects: these are decisions where the cost of being wrong is paid for years, and they sit on a founder or operations director who does not have the cycles or the pattern library to challenge them properly.

Fractional CTO & AI Leadership is the standing engagement that fills that gap. Both founders contribute: Nuno on AI, automation and build-versus-buy; Luke on operating-model, ERP and systems architecture. Most months it is a few hours of structured input, a board pack contribution, vendor proposal reviews, roadmap governance.

We challenge vendors so you do not have to. We have sat on both sides of the table (Luke running a consulting practice to ERP Gold Partner status, Nuno building and selecting tooling for an 8-figure business) and we know which questions actually surface risk. RFP design, demo scripting, reference-check guidance, contract redlines that matter.

Roadmap governance is the other half. AI roadmaps tend to balloon, and most of what gets added is theatre. We help you say no to the right things, sequence the rest by payback, and keep the board pack honest. The point is not more activity. The point is investments that compound.

The AI Operating System

Challenge

An 8-figure DTC brand was drowning in fragmented information across messaging, email, calendars and a dozen spreadsheets. Decisions waited on someone stitching the picture together by hand.

What was built

A unified AI operating system: a knowledge layer wired to 15-plus tools, 40-plus custom skills, and scheduled automations that read across the business and write daily and weekly executive briefings.

Outcome

15+ tools unified
40+ skills in production
Reviews fully automated
